Biography

I am a PhD candidate in Systems & Control Engineering at the University of Sheffield and a Research Scientist at Airbus Robotics. I obtained a Masters of Engineering (1st Class Honours, 4.0 GPA) in Aerospace Engineering with a Year in Industry, where I worked as an Automation Engineer and Robotics deployment specialist.

My current research is focused around using learning-based methods for planning and control, with applications in manufacturing systems for aerospace. I am interested in applications involving control theory, game theory and reinforcement learning to build autonomous agents that can make decisions in uncertain environments.

I am part of the Intelligent Systems, Decisions and Control Group (ISDCG) and I am one of the co-leads of the Robotics And Autonomous Manufacturing Systems Lab (RAMS Lab) where my research is focused on robust control for manipulation.

In my free time, my hobbies surround the outdoors (fishing, hiking, watersports etc.) and tinkering with electronics. I’ll periodically upload photos and videos that I take on my various adventures, along with my ongoing projects.
